		<description><![CDATA[Well, the Office of Naval Research has begun test firing BAE’s new 32-megajoule railgun and we’ve got the video to prove it. Remember, the Navy wants a 20 to 32 megajoule railgun that can fire a projectile at speeds of up to 5,600 miles per hour over distances of 50 to 100 nautical miles. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a little story that’s been making the Internet rounds lately; the Navy is about to take one more step toward making high-powered railguns a ship-board reality. Yup, the Office of Naval Research is about to start test firing a BAE Systems-built railgun and another made by General Atomics (watch a badass video of the [...]]]></description>

Kinda like a small version of the Army’s Excalibur smart artillery round. The four-inch, dart-like round uses tiny fins and an optical sensor in its nose to follow a laser [...]]]></description>

Sometimes you just gotta smoke some shisha. Congrats to the rebels on winning the fight against Gadhafi. Let’s hope Libyan can now become a stable, functioning country that respects human rights.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago I helped break the story that Air Force Special Operations Command wanted to turn twin-engine, C-27J cargo planes into a “gunship lite” to bolster the command’s fleet of aging AC-130 gunships. AFSOC was all about the idea for a while until budgeteers nixed the gunship lite proposal in FY 2010 and [...]]]></description>

We figured we’d list off some of the most significant advances in weaponry that have occurred over the last decade — some driven by the wars spawned by that day, some independent of them.

Makes me wonder if this tricked out FN2000 (shown above) was really seized from a Gadhafi loyalist, or was it provided by the French? From AFP: The French military confirmed June 29 that it had air-dropped “light weapons” earlier this [...]]]></description>
